When you think of pirates you don’t think about Texas, but there have been reports of Falcon Lake, Texas pirate attacks recently. Falcon Lake borders the U.S.-Mexico Border, and several boaters have been robbed at gunpoint on the lake on the Mexican side of the lake. There are fears that the attacks are going to spread into the U.S. side of the lake, especially given the fact that the border is not clear. Falcon Lake is known as a world class bass fishing destination, and several major fishing tournaments have been scheduled on the lake.

Read more about the Falcon Lake pirates, and leave your comments below.

Texas officials have issued warnings for boaters and anglers to stay on the U.S. side of the lake after three recent attacks by pirates on the lake. There are also reports that the pirates have come across the border onto the U.S. side of the lake, only to be chased by border patrol. The agents chased the boat to the border and once the pirates crossed the border the chase ended.

Business owners, and residents, are still hoping people come to the lake because it is a major economic draw to the area. The local Sheriff is simply telling people that they cannot be kept safe on the Mexican side of the lake. The pirates board the boats and demand money or drugs. To date no one has been seriously injured by the pirates, but it seems to only be a matter of time before something tragic occurs.

The Falcon Lake, Texas pirate attacks seem to be spillover from the border violence that has plagued the entire southwest border in recent months. It appears that the drug cartels battles with law enforcement, and law abiding citizens, has reached a new level. I would love to hear your opinion on this latter. Feel free to leave your comments, and suggestions on how to address this problem, on this story below.

Its rediculous fish and game/border patrol cant cross the line. They come here rob us and run back, they are using the border against us, yet it doesnt protect us? Who says we cant cross? If they can come here with a machine gun and rob our boats, nothing should stop a persuit after them. We should hunt them to the end of the earth, kill them leaving there bodies for there comrades to find. We are to weak in fighting criminal activity, they have no law or guidelines to follow. Eye for an eye. We are so worried about the law, others use it against us. We are being controlled by foreign criminals, it must stop.

I agree we should rob them and take their boats, and leave them dead.

the police do not “prevent” crime, they only take reports.
in real life the responsibility to protect you is up to “YOU”.
start growing some balls and whining and start shooting back!

The mexicans would start screaming if Falcon Lake became the hot spot for retired military fishermen where the use of deadly force is part of their training.

I THINK THAT “LAW ENFONRCMENTS” OR ANYONE HIRED TO “PROTECT” US THE PEOPLE SHOULD STOP TALKING SH*T AND ACTUALLY DO SOMTHING ABOUT IT ALL THEY DO IS REPORTS ON ACCIDENTS AND NEVER HAVE THEY DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS KILLING SPREE GOIN ON AND EVERYTHING. THEY SHOULD JUST FIND EM AND TORTURE OR SHOOT THEM RIGHT THEN AND THERE BUT INSTEAD THEY JUST RUN OFF LIKE LITTLE PUS*YS!

If a mexican goes into American waters at Falcon, they will be taken into custody by the Border Patroll, will have their stuff taken and took to jail. How is this different to what’s happening. The robbery reports happen when Americans cross into Mexican waters, why would you do something that’s illegal the other way around? If you don’t like Mexico, don’t cross into the mexican waters. If you want to try to beat The Company’s armory with your AR’s, good luck, hope you have your funeral expeses paid or at least on your insurance policy.

Thank you for the data and now I just decided where I am taking my next vacation. Time to pick off a few cartel wetbacks. If they “phuck” with me they will be swallowing lead. I will not tolerate such behavior from criminal elements. We conquered these wetbacks once before in war, actually a few times, never lost and we will not lose the next one. The last thing I will allow is myself to fall to a cartel piece of cra*p. Now I am pissed.
